215/50 R17 Tyre Review Highlights
Writing about the Maxtrek INGENS A1 rated 89%
while driving a Honda Civic 1.8 FC
Cheaper than others but good performance & quality so far

Writing about the Continental PremiumContact C rated 39%
while driving a MG mg4
The Continental PremiumContact-C came as the factory-fitted standard tyres on my 2023 MG4 Excite 64. I would not recommend them.
After only 27,000 km, both rear tyres are already down to 3 mm, which is very poor wear. Comfort and noise level is acceptable on dry roads, but wet-weather performance is very bad, handling is poor and the car feels unstable and prone to skidding on wet road.

Overall, not suitable for an electric vehicle with instant torque, and I won’t be buying these again.

Performs bad on ice and snow, even new tires noticeably bad on ice and snow, feels like suer tires. I would never ever buy them again.

Writing about the Maxxis HP M3 rated 37%
while driving a MG ZS EV
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 average miles
Honestly, these tyres haven't impressed. My wife's ZS was fitted with these from new, and immediately their deficiencies jumped out. Very numb steering response, not much in the way of feedback and the biggest problem, they are so easy to spin or slide in damp to wet conditions; trying to pull out of junctions in the wet requires you to be very gentle, or you're going nowhere with the smell of rubber coming into the cabin, at least until the traction control kicks in. You can also spin them if you are too enthusiastic in the dry, but it's not as much of a issue. This is our second ZS so we knew it wasn't the car; the first one was supplied on Kumho from new and felt entirely different.

They recently finally wore out, 15,000 miles for the fronts to wear out; ironically the rear tyres (FWD model) only lasted about 1500 miles more than the driven wheels. They've been replaced with Pirelli Powergy front and rear, and the car no longer feels numb, there's communication through the wheel, and they don't spin if you look at them funny. Overall, they are cheap for a reason, their life wasn't great, and their performance was iffy.

Very good all around winter tire.
Strong grip on snow and ice.
Minimal wear after 2 full winters.
Dry grip is not the main feature of this tire.

I'm thinking of changing them because of the noise. My Civic came with these tires and they have pretty good road grip, but I think that's due to the independent suspension. Also, I was involved in an accident where I braked hard at 85 km/h and couldn't slow down below 45 km/h. I can't say they offer very good braking performance on Turkish asphalt.

The wet grip was not that good after 35000 km due to wear and the aquaplane was noticeable after that.

Antares “Slip” 20 is a tyre you should avoid. Can”t be balanced normally, an oval tyre from factory, can be driven “normally” till 80km/h. Quite noisy and feels like a jelly - though works predictable on snow and sludge, doesn”t work on ice at all. In general - waste of your money.

Driving on mostly motorways for 55 average miles
I drive mostly highway and in all conditions I have found the tyres to be quite reliable. Having a RWD car, it will only skid minimally when turning fast at 50 km/h in rainy conditions. Done 55.000 km so far and still 4.5-5.0 mm tread left. In regards to noise I found them to be fairly silent although the last 5.000 km I seem to hear them more but what can I expect when they have already outlived other tyre brands. Considering buying again. Only minus is they seem a little stiff in temperatures -5 C and below so limit the spirited driving then but driving a normal commute feels safe and the handling stays great. Perfect for mild winters with moderat snowfall.

The tires have done 110,000 in 1.5, they are used in a taxi Opel Astra K Sports Tourer and they did not slip and the wear is minimal, they will soon be replaced with the same ones.
